Our Experts

There’s a subscription for everything nowadays, but some of them are really innovative. Good examples include subscription services for food or drink items or full meals, which have been game changers for those who love to try new variants of wine, meat and even tea. Tea can be a calming beverage for many, and there are certainly ways to make it more enjoyable with different varieties, which you can get delivered straight to your door. The best tea subscriptions offer a variety of teas: green, black, herbal and breakfast blends.

We’ve immersed ourselves in several top tea clubs to find the best ones you should try in 2024. We spent a lot of time trying all the tea clubs listed below to see what they do best.

Art of Tea has one of the more intense tea clubs to experience every tea type. To get a sense of your preferences, you can try the tea profile quiz where it collects information such as what time you drink tea, flavor likes and dislikes and how experienced you are with tea. At the end it will recommend teas based on your answers. 

The Tea Club Subscription allows you to choose from six different tea subscription types: single origin, pyramid teabags, classics, caffeine-free, explore and wellness. You’ll also select either a three-month, six-month and 12-month plan.

Each monthly tea box contained just one type of tea. I got four ounces of a warm masala chai in my first box and it was heaven on a cool Sunday afternoon. Between two and four ounces of tea (or 12 teabags if you’ve selected pyramid sachets) will be shipped out with information to dive deeper into the wide world of tea. Teas are seasonally selected and you’ll get a new fresh tea or flavored teas each month. 

Be aware that, depending on your tea club selection (single-origin, classic, tea bags), Art of Tea sends a different quantity of tea but the prices are the same. There’s also a sprawling shop of teas and tea-related products if you’re not a subscription person.

Pricing: A three-month subscription is $81, six months is $133 and a full year costs $254.
